The Process

Then we get to work.

Remember that your custom jewelry will take time to create. Plan the process taking four to six weeks after your initial consultation.

It will give you an excellent indication of how your finished piece will look, yet changes can still be easily made at this point.

CRAFTING A MODELNext, we’ll create a wax model of your custom jewelry. When we have your approval, we will use this model to craft the finished piece.
